Chapter 61

The cast lineup was equally formidable: "Mother of God侠" Samuel L. Jackson, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Little Li Zi…

Many top-tier Hollywood stars attended quietly, yet the scene still shimmered with starlight.

Entering the party hall, Xu Can looked around—wow, all familiar faces!

In his past life, he was just an ordinary person, separated from these stars by a vast Pacific Ocean.

He never imagined he could now blend right in.

"Hey, Xu! Over here!"

Sixteen-year-old blonde girl Emma Roberts spotted Xu Can instantly, jumping up to wave him over.

Though Emma Roberts had a hint of that green tea bitch vibe, she was still a lively little girl and not unpleasant at all.

"Emma, you're here too?"

"Of course! When I heard you'd come, I came too~"

The girl smiled sweetly and naturally linked arms with Xu Can.

Luckily, Stone Sister was filming Twilight, or else she'd have been jealous if she'd been here.

"Xu, I'm so glad to meet you—I watched Spider-Man twice! It was amazing!"

The woman chatting with Emma Roberts was "Big Cousin" Jennifer Lopez.

Nearby were Miley Cyrus, Transformers lead Shia LaBeouf, "Sweetheart" Jessica Alba, and other stars.

Several young people expressed their admiration for Xu Can with exaggerated expressions.

Xu Can could only wear a professional fake smile in this social setting.

"Xu, let me introduce you to others!"

Thanks to her aunt's connections, Emma Roberts moved effortlessly through this circle.

The girl pulled Xu Can around among all the stars.

"Xu? Is that really you!"

As they walked, Xu Can was suddenly stopped by a slender woman with long golden hair and smoky makeup.

"Avril, nice to meet you." Xu Can recognized her immediately.

Avril Lavigne.

In person, she was incredibly thin—160 cm tall, even shorter than Xu Can's 185 cm, making her look delicate and petite.

"Wow! I'm your fan—can you sign my autograph?"

Avril was no longer the cool rock queen on stage—she'd turned into a fangirl chasing stars.

"Sure, you sign mine too—I'm your fan."

Both pulled out pens, signed each other's business cards, then took a photo together, with little Emma Roberts snapping it.

During the photo, Xu Can's hand rested gently and politely on Avril's shoulder.

Avril, however, was unusually forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Xu Can's waist in an intimate gesture.

"That photo turned out great," Emma Roberts muttered, slightly jealous.

"Let's have dinner sometime when you're free~" Avril reminded him before leaving.

"Sure, keep in touch."

Beside him, Emma Roberts complained:

"You're married and still hugging him."

In July 2006, Avril married her band's singer Derek.

It had only been half a year—her husband hadn't accompanied her to the party. Had their relationship already started showing cracks?

He remembered they announced their divorce in 2009.

"It's just meeting a new friend—what are you thinking?"

Xu Can couldn't help but pinch Emma Roberts's tiny, delicate nose.

"Can friends do that? Then I want to too."

Emma Roberts ignored everything, wrapping both arms tightly around Xu Can's waist, pressing herself against him.

The girl's scent filled his nose; Xu Can hadn't been intimate with Stone Sister in days and nearly lost control of his AK…

"What are you doing?"

"Aren't we friends?"

"We're friends—let go, there are too many people here."

"Hmph, I knew it—you still like Stone Sister," Emma Roberts pouted, sounding wounded.

"Where on earth did you learn all this?"

Xu Can sighed in relief as her manager appeared and led her off to introduce her to other Hollywood luminaries.

Finally, some peace.

Along the way, Xu Can kept running into world-famous stars who came up to chat with him.

Undeniably, the most popular entertainment work globally right now was Spider-Man—everyone was talking about it.

Even the long-forgotten Marvel comics had been revived and suddenly become hot again.

Xu Can, as the absolute core, was a temporary top streamer.

No matter how big their status, everyone here knew him and was willing to come over and say hello.

If Xu Can's Spider-Man trilogy kept exploding in popularity and he landed other roles with his acting, winning an Oscar…

Then he'd truly become a top-tier star.

Getting to know him now could leave a good impression.

"Xu, can you tell us what it was like playing Spider-Man?"

"Xu, you really did all the filming yourself? No stunt double?"

"Wow! I watched it at least three times. Any chance we could work together?"

One after another, Hollywood stars and directors kept crowding around Xu Can, chatting about all sorts of random topics.

Xu Can instantly became the party's center of attention under the spotlight.

Beside him were big-shot directors like Ridley Scott, and A-list actors like Mother of God,

as well as heavyweights like Li Zi and Kate Winslet,

Xu Can couldn't just drop everything and walk away,

he wanted to keep making movies in the future, and wanted to collaborate with these actors, so he really had to fit in and socialize as much as possible.

So Xu Can simply called on Peter Parker's personality, dazzling the crowd with witty remarks, winning favor with everyone.

He had Kate Winslet roaring with laughter, her snow-white chest nearly bursting out.

After exchanging contact info with many stars, Xu Can felt the timing was about right, so he made an excuse to slip away and take his leave.

"Phew—talked till my mouth went dry."

Xu Can went alone to the buffet table, poured himself a Coke and gulped it down.

Then he grabbed some fruit from the side.

Just as he was about to pick up some cherry tomatoes, he accidentally bumped into the person beside him.

"Sorry…"

"Im-so-sorry…"

Both apologized at the same time, looked up, and froze at the same time.

"Xu! You're here too! I'm your fan, I totally love Spider-Man!"

The blonde girl across from him was quite tall, almost reaching Xu Can's eyebrows, roughly 1.8 meters!

Her figure was also incredibly hot, on par with a supermodel.

Today she was wearing a black, shimmering evening gown, and she still didn't seem used to this kind of outfit, looking a bit awkward.

Her pair of phoenix eyes were full of allure, and her fair, Bai Xi skin made her fiery red lips look enchantingly seductive.

"Taylor?"

The girl first froze in disbelief, then her eyes practically lit up like stars.

Her sweet, clear voice immediately rose several pitches,

"Ahhhh! You know me! Have you heard my songs?"

Obviously—who in the North American entertainment circle doesn't know Taylor Swift?
